Languages in Italy 500 BC
Many different languages were spoken in Italy before it was conquered by the Romans. While Latin then became the official language of the region, Greek remained a very important language, especially in the southern parts (Magna Graecia).

Descartes
Thank you all. :)
And Wentu, I think Umbrian was spoken pretty far south actually. Check out these maps:

Wentu
very nice map. this color solution is really effective !
I would say Umbrian seems too much south.
You can add some more languages taking them from here: http://www.purposegames.com/game/extinct-languages-of-europe-quiz
Also sardinian would be great (i think there are 2 varieties)
